I find myself having to retract my skepticism of the skinny jean trend... because (good grief) I have bought some! I am shocked myself. I've been curious for weeks to try some on because now nearly everyone is wearing this trend. I guess it's been growing on me. So I was at the Gap this past weekend and I tried on their 1969 Skinny Fit in dark rinsed denim.
(see picture) And surprisingly enough, I found the proportions to be interesting. I will not wear these with flats as the Gap model is. I think the line looks great with a chunky high heel pump, much like the style Gucci has been doing for at least 3 years now. Or you can tuck them into a pair of tall boots.
Also this look works with the layering looks that they are showing for Fall. I mean that for people who have nothing to "hide" too. Lots of skinny mini types are wearing the layering look and it's certainly not to hide a flaw. I think a nice textured big sweater and chunky heels will create a nice look. Anyway, my skinny jeans are at the tailor right now being hemmed. I'll report back after I wear them. :-)
